Science has always been at the heart of The Billfish Foundation’s mission. From supporting groundbreaking studies and funding satellite tagging projects to maintaining the world’s largest private billfish tagging database, TBF has spent four decades helping advance our understanding of billfish and the fisheries that depend on them. Now, we’re making that science more accessible than ever.
We’re excited to introduce the new TBF Publications Repository — a centralized, searchable library of billfish research that brings decades of scientific knowledge together in one place.
Whether you’re a scientist, student, fisheries manager, captain, angler, or simply passionate about billfish conservation, the repository makes it easier to stay informed on the latest research shaping the future of our fisheries. Visitors can browse featured and recent publications, search by species, and explore studies spanning everything from migration and stock assessments to genetics, habitat use, tagging, and fisheries management. The collection also includes TBF’s annual Conservation Record reports, highlighting decades of tag and release data and the invaluable contributions of anglers around the world.
The repository is more than a collection of publications. It represents TBF’s continued commitment to connecting science with the recreational fishing community. By making research easier to discover and understand, we’re helping bridge the gap between the scientists conducting the work and the anglers whose participation makes so much of it possible.
As new research is published, the repository will continue to grow, creating a living resource for anyone interested in the latest advancements in billfish science and conservation. Researchers who have published billfish-related work are also invited to submit their publications for consideration, helping ensure this resource remains comprehensive and up to date.
We invite you to explore the repository, discover the science behind billfish conservation, and stay connected with the research helping shape the future of our oceans.
